ECOWAS / Mandate 2022-2026: 51 years, single currency, FATF list, Omar Alieu Touray's assessment (2)

At the end of Oumar Alieu Touray's term at the head of ECOWAS, notable advancements were made, including nine electoral observation missions and several countries exiting the FATF grey list. However, military coups occurred between 2020 and 2023, highlighting a lack of political will among member states. Economic integration remains a priority, with the planned launch of the single currency, ECO, in 2027, starting with countries that meet the convergence criteria.
